I believe there is truth in your words in regards to sickness. Before the pandemic, I would get sick 2-3 times a year. Usually bedridden for a day or two, then needing a week or more to recover fully. Once the pandemic began, I no longer became sick again, like I usually did. When my church had...

Happy to hear you are feeling well!

We had an interesting introduction to a new Bible study series, this morning at church. The pastor pointed out various things, which I hadn't known, when it comes to the bigger picture. Let me take a stab at offering what I think of your question. "The law" was given to the people of Israel...

Can we blame God for the mess we are in, when He has on more then one occasion, tried to get our attention, to avoid it?

In their Statement of Purpose, they call themselves “Christian Brethren”. I honestly don't know what the difference is, as I never looked into it.

We were talking about this on Wednesday during bible study, at the table I was sitting at. One thing God brought to mind, many years ago, is that even someone who is living on low income here in the west, can still be living as kings or queens compared to those in third world countries. We...

No. You are quick to judge here. Any thing I would consider a miracle, which I have experienced or seen, usually has been outside of any church, through out my life. That is with me growing up in a Brethern church until my mid 20's, then attending my last church, the Baptist one, for most of my...

No, the church I left belonged to the North American Baptist group of churches. The one I am currently attending is more of a Pentecostal church.

I've been wondering about this myself, and have been observing other Christians in my life, especially at my current church. A difference in the two types of Christians you are talking about, I would compare to how far or closely they follow Jesus. Someone who wouldn't show much spirit or fruits...

I don't see him attacking the bible, but asking questions. I find them helpful to turn to God and ask about things for clearer understanding. As an example, there are many things I've noticed, when part of any church, where traditions are created, and people just go along with it, instead of...

We should never listen to man. Only God. That is what He taught me.

It surely messed my understanding of Jesus for over almost 30 years. My parents had a JW friend, who would come afterschool and give me bible lessons, using their translation. At the age of 12, my mom started attending a brethren church, but the confusion lingered on until the age of 35. Blessed...

You seem quite obsessed with @St. SteVen . Maybe time to go get some fresh air?

I always find this part of Genesis interesting. Back in my youth group, a youth leader pointed out how males are hardwired by "sight", and females are hardwired by "touch". If true, where did Adam get that idea to add this rule for Eve?

Thank you. I did that this week. A huge weight has been lifted off of me, as I officially left my home church for good.

Hello, I thought I would share an update. First, thank you all who have prayed. I decided to officially leave my church. I had been fighting God to stay there, and in doing so, was disobeying him. I returned back for the first time on Sunday to serve in my role as the audio and video tech. I...

Hello, Is it possible to be a victim of a "controlling spirit" in a church? Is there such a thing?

Thank you everyone for your prayers, it is much appreciated. Since my original post, I experienced health issues, including mental health. I ended up going on leave from my home church to serve, last month, notifying them that I was not doing well, and it was effecting my ability to serve...

Please, pray for me. For my own issues first. I struggle with many things. I'm too ashamed to admit. But God has planted me at church, since 2009, in my second church. He took me out out in 2017. I knew then I was spiritually dead. After three trials in the begging in 2019, He brought me back to...

Its been a year since I had this dream. Yesterday evening, I encountered the "pastor/teacher", at my church's prayer night, which I'm currently leading. I took over back in the spring, when our interim pastor retired. I have no formal training in leading these types of events, and have been...
